山西有什么旅游景点「英文介绍」

山西，因居太行山之西而得名，简称“ 晋”，又称“ 三晋”，古称河东，省会太原市。山西是中华民族发祥地之一，山西有文字记载的历史达三千年，被誉为“ 华夏文明摇篮”，素有“中国古代文化博物馆”之称。随着暑假的到来，下面，店铺就为大家介绍一些山西的旅游景点吧。

一、Taiyuan --'Metropolis of Cathy'

Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi Province. Ideally situated in

the Taiyuan Basin in the central part of the province, it is bordered

by the Taihang Mountains in the east and the Luliang Mountains

in the west. The Fenhe River flows through the city.

Taiyuan has grown into a booming industrial city in the past

few decades. Its network of railway lines provides a link to all

parts of the country, and its coal and steel industries occupy an

important position in China's industries system.

The turbulent history of Taiyuan can be traced back to the

Spring and Autumn Period more that two thousand years ago.

But it was not until the Tang Dynasty, about one thousand years

ago, that Taiyuan really became Known as a "metropolis of

Cathay." The first empress in Chinese history, Wu Zetian (624-705), was born here. When she came to power, she appointed

Minister Cui Shenqing as governor of Bingzhou (Taiyuan). He was

instructed to have a bridge built over the Fenhe River to connect

the towns of Xicheng (West City) and Dongcheng (East city),

making Taiyuan a true metropolis.

With its mountains and its river, Taiyuan was an important

military town for which war strategists of various dynasties

contested. For more than a thousand years, many battles were

fought here. In A.D. 975 Zhao Guanyi of the Song Dynasty

dispatched 400,000 troops to conquer Taiyuan. In view of the fact

that local forces of various dynasties often set up separatist

regimes by force of arms, he had the town burned down

completely because of what he believed were "unduly great

ambitions to rule here." Seven years later (A.D. 982), general Li

Mei of the Song Dynasty began the reconstruction of the town,

establishing the city of Taiyuan as we know it today.

二、Memorial Temple of Jin (Jinsi)

This temple is located at the fountainhead of the Jinshui River

twenty five kilometers southwest of the city of Taiyuan. The

weather here is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the land

is beautiful. Ancient buildings, blue springwater, and superb clay

sculpture have been attractions to tourists for centuries.

Legend says that the Memorial Temple of Jin was first built

in the twelfth century B.C. The first attraction here is the

"Immortal Spring," so named because the spingwater has flowed

steadily for centuries. If you walk along the spring and down the

stone steps, you will find a big pool of crystal-clear water that

gushes out from the walls. Bypassing the pool, you will come to

the uniquely constructed "Flying Bridge over the Fish Pond

Spring" in front of the Hall of Holy Mother (Shengmudian). This

double wooden bridge in the shape of a cross is supported by

thirty-four stone posts embedded in the spring. Crossing the

bridge you come to the Hall of Holy mother, the center of the

temple. The Holy Mother was regarded as the noble model of

motherhood in feudal Chinese society. Flanking the sculpture of

Holy Mother is an array of forty-two young maidens, each with

distinct expression and posture. They are perfect examples of the

skill of the Song Dynasty. Not far from the hall is a grove of

ancient cypress trees, once of which is said to have been planted

during the Western Zhou Dynasty, making it more than two

thousand years old.

三、Lofty Benevolence Monastery (Chongshansi)

This monastery is located in the southern part of the city of

Taiyuan. Of Ming architecture, the monastery has an area of

140,000 square meters. It was damaged by fire in 1864, and only

a gate, a bell tower, two side rooms, and the Hall of Great Mercy

are left. The magnificent hall contains three 8.5- meter-tall

statues of Buddha. The monastery is a repository for Song and

Yuan editions of Buddhist texts.

四、Tianlongshan Grottoes

There are twenty-one grottoes halfway up Tianlong

Mountain. Forty kilometers southwest of Tianyuan. They were

carved during the Wei, Qi, Sui, and primarily, Tang dynasties. The

stone Buddhist statues are lifelike examples of fine workmanship.

五、Longshan Grottoes

Located at the top of Longshan Mountain twenty kilometers

southeast of the city of Taiyuan, these are among the few Taoist

grottoes in China. There are eight niches, with more than forty

statues, carved during the early years of the Yuan Dynasty.

六、Xuanzhong Monastery

Located on Shibi Mountain in Jiaocheng County southwest

of Taiyuan, this monastery, also known as Wanbi Monastery, has

an area of six thousand squares meters. It is surrounded with

steep mud brick walls and stately cypress trees. The monastery

was first built I 472 during the Northern Wei Dynasty. The

beautiful area is sacred to Buddhist. In fact, Japanese Buddhists

regard it as the "ancestral" monastery, and visit it as pilgrims.

七、Shuanglin Monastery

This monastery is located north of Qiantou Village in Pingyao

County to the south of Taiyuan. It was first built during the

Northern Wei Dynasty. Its ten halls contain a treasury of painted

sculpture, with 2,052 painted statues of Buddha from the Song,

Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Note especially the four mighty

and awe inspiring Devarajas (Heavenly Guardians) and the

eighteen arhats with their individual expressions and postures.

八、Yongle Palace

The original site of Yongle Palace was in the town of Yongle

southwest of Ruicheng County on the banks of the Yellow River

(Haunghe). When construction of the Sanmen Gorge Reservoir

was begun in 1958, the town of Yongle was within the area

planned to be inundated. The government organized experts and

workers to move the palace to its present site at Longquan

Village north of Ruicheng city in the southwestern part of Shanxi

Province. The work of moving the palace was completed in seven

years, and it was reconstructed completely according to the

original design. Priceless murals of the Yuan Dynasty were thus

preserved.

The palace, a Taoist temple, was first built in the fourteenth

century. Its main buildings are Dragon and Tiger Hall

(Longhudian), Taoist Trinity Hall (Sanqingdian), Pure Sun Hall

(Zhongyangdian), and Double Sun Hall (Chongyangdian). On

display at Trinity Hall are Yuan Dynasty murals with more than

three hundred lively, brightly painted figures. The murals in Pure

Sun and Double Sun halls are picture stories about Taoism, rich

in fairy tales and full of life. The number of murals in Yongle

Palace are second only to Dunhuang in China's northwestern

province of Gansu. Rich in content, superb in execution, the

murals are not only artistic treasures, but also valuable resource

materials for the study of the history of Taoism and Yuan society.
